My sister's been having mild chest pain for the past couple of days. She got an ECG done, and while the doctor said everything was normal and it's due to acidity, I'm still a bit concerned because the ECG mentioned something about right axis deviation. Is this something we should be worried about? Can you shed some light on this?

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort after meals. Whenever I eat a heavy meal, I get this left-sided chest pain, and I notice my resting heart rate shoots up to around 100, even though it's usually about 70. It gets worse with any kind of light activity like walking or climbing stairs but seems to settle down after a few hours. I did have some heart tests, like an ECG, echo, and TMT about six months ago, and they all came back normal. My blood tests are fine toono anemia, high blood pressure, or sugar issues. Should I be considering any other tests or looking into something else? Its starting to worry me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux. The chest pain after eating heavy meals, along with the increased heart rate and chest discomfort with light activity, are common symptoms of GERD. Since your heart tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac issue. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if they help alleviate your symptoms. You can also try avoiding heavy meals, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding lying down immediately after eating. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, you may consider undergoing an upper endoscopy to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. This procedure can help identify any inflammation or damage in the esophagus or stomach. Overall, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm 29 and feeling anxious about the possibility of having a heart attack. My blood pressure and blood sugar levels are normal, my TSH is normal too, I have no bad habits, and I weigh 55 kg. Is it still possible for me to have a heart attack?
It is uncommon for someone with your profile to have a heart attack at such a young age. However, there are other factors that can contribute to heart attacks, such as family history, cholesterol levels, and overall lifestyle. It is important to continue monitoring your health and consider regular check-ups with your doctor to assess your overall cardiovascular risk.
